Simple way to trunk text

[gazino871]

I'm coding a simple chat webapp, and I want to truncate the name of each participant. For instance, instead of:\[code\]Miguel de Unamuno: 03:14 Homo sum, nihil homini alienum puto\[/code\]I want:\[code\]Miguel de U...: 03:14 Homo sum, nihil homini alienum puto\[/code\]I see I could do this with JS, but seems like it should be quite a common thing, so I'm sure there is a simple way to do this with HTML+CSS I am not being able to find. Is it?Thanks!
